Why Are Women Mean To Each Other? Big Daddy Abel

Why are women mean to each other?

 

 Fresh off of playing another series of live shows in several different

states, I tend to contemplate things. How to make shows better, look for

new songs, etc. Sometimes I revisit the actions of people I observed in

my travels. Currently I am wondering: Why are women mean to each other? I

don't mean that ALL women are mean to each other, but quite a few are. I

see it a lot. Mainly I see it at night while I…

Vehicular Assault in Kelowna B.C.

I was almost run down by a pickup truck in the parking lot of our local grocery store. I don’t mean that I walked in front of a truck or they didn’t see me coming. I’m talking about a woman who got behind the wheel, checked where I was in the mirror and gunned her engine at me. She only stopped after the corner of her truck had hit my chest hard enough to bump me back a few feet.

This is a true story. Let me explain.

My wife and I were shopping for groceries. When we walked…

The Day everybody on the planet became Human

The one idea I wanted to bring out in my award wining scifi novel was the day the alien Titans invaded to haverst our planet is the day everybody realized that we weren't seperate races but we are all part of the Human Race.  Its almost like, "I can say that about my brother but you can't say it."

 

I would love to have "love" bring the Human race togeather but I quicken the event by having us all hate the same alien race togeather.  Its not pretty but I think more practical. …

Three Errors with Compound Sentences

You have two connected ideas, two ideas that together make a complete message. In fact, the connection is so close that you want to join them into one long sentence. For example, let’s say you want to communicate these two ideas:

 

1. The man entered with a gun.

2. Bank personnel were not amused.

 

You want to write them in one longer…

H.R. Toye Guest Post

Giovanni Gelati, blog talk radio star and co-collaborator once asked my husband, fellow author Cody Toye, if he lived in fear of waking up with me standing over him with a butcher knife in my hand.  While I can indeed shoot razor sharp darts at him with the look that is perfected over time with every married woman, I’m sure Mrs. Gelati can vouch for this; I have never caused him physical harm.  I have ways of making him attest to this point, mwahaha.

How is…

"A Night To Remember" Bob Hamer Guest Post

A NIGHT TO REMEMBER

By Bob Hamer

"Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they've made a difference. The Marines don't have that problem." …Ronald Reagan

I’ve met Medal of Honor recipients and the Commandant of the Marine Corps, award-winning actors and Hall of Fame athletes, politicians and…

Phobia

 

 

Shadow poised in the harsh light

Silent tear

Recluse

Gathering autumn leaves

Crumbling in the hand

In death,alive

Craven depth

Blight of fury

Shade your eyes

Hide from the gleam

Enter the chasm

Widening stench

Away from love hate love

God and you

She

Long hair flowing ,blowing

Dark eyes smiling,knowing

She knew the love of loves

As  only those who lost it know

She lived in memories

With nothing but wisdom to show

She walked tall andalone

Waiting,wondering

As she smiled with her eyes

Knowing

And her dark hair blowing

The holy land

 

The overladen dusty skies

Descent of death

Within every Muslim

Lies the spirit of Aljihad

 

What is life..this world

What use is existence

Amid this gory massacre

Murder of innocents

 

Surpassing all reality

Is the road to eternity

We shall repay our debts

Lay down our lives

 

The cruel world watches with cold eyes

Flickering screens

As we live through each…

AlJihad

 

How human are you

When your hands are bloody

How human are you

When you have ridden

Through the valley of death

 

I defy you

I shall resist

Fight for my people

Fight for my land

 

I shall write

With the ink of anguish

Narrate my sorrow

Drown in my pain

 

The heavens cry

The mournful wind

Wafts through the valley of Karbala

To the bloody…

Lost world

 

 

 

Missing you,missing me

That feeling

Like everything had fallen

Right into place

 

Unlucky you,unlucky me

The world changed

Taking a new bend

With you at the farthest pole

 

Faraway ,faraway me

And everything seemed

Like it never did

Some  magic spell

 

Losing you,losing me

Happiness evaporated

Leaving these squiggles,scribbles

And a plastic…

Us

 

 

Recall when our eyes first met

Recognising,memorising,mesmerising

Recording that moment in time

Precious,pure,sublime

 

Life took a sudden bend

With no beginnings,no end

Nothing halfway,no pathway

No solutions,no restraint

 

You are my sandcastle

Steadfast,peaceful in unity

Yet just a touch

Vision,or a mirage

 

A sea of serenity

Key to eternity

Utopian…

Margalla Hills

 

 

This crispy morning

We walk in the woods

Hand in hand

In silence.

 

The smell of pine trees

Dry leaves rustle underfoot

The rolling turquoise skies

And emerald Margalla Hills.

 

In the morning after

The repose,the rapture

The sweet unspoken

Melody of love

 

Music in the air

Heavens symphonies

Peace to share

And feel of eternity

Phantom Love

 

 

Engulf me,enclose me

Live in my heart

Unseen,unknown

My fantasy love

 

You whisper  to me

In the  silent night

Follow me

In the brazen daylight

 

You live without me

Yet within me

Surrounding me

Unreachable,unfathomable

 

Yet you return

Crowding my thoughts

Cloying my senses

Distant phantom love.

Perchance...

 

Perchance to meet today

When the air is soft

And the sky violet

Perchance to touch your hand

And cross back into time

When our love was young

The bridges in between

Haveall been crossed

Perchance to think

To love

And all that was is lost

And all that was is lost.

We know that we can look

Back on the paths we took

With a smile

Perchance to wish

Back all those…
